Mayor Letica reported, “I would like to congratulate Deputy Mayor Pam Pierce and Trustee Ian Jablonski on their re-election to the Board of Trustees.  Pam and Ian bring diverse knowledge, skills and a passion for the Village to the Board.  I look forward to serving with them in the upcoming year.

The 4th of July was one of the nicest ever.  A beautiful day was capped by the spectacle of bonfires on the beach and an incredible fireworks display by Grucci.  I would like to thank Officer in Charge Ray Mahdesian as well as Police Commissioner and Trustee Mel Ettinger for making sure everyone had a safe day.  Due to terrific planning and an excellent group of officers the Village was able to do all of its routine patrols as well as respond to three auto accidents, an EMS call and an arrest for possession of fireworks.  I also would like to thank Harbormaster Joe Affrunti and Fireworks Coordinator Martin Hakker for the awesome job they did making sure the fireworks display went off without a hitch. 

I would also like to thank everyone who has volunteered for the Village this past year.  As Mayor I truly am inspired with all of your enthusiasm, dedication and kind efforts that make Asharoken such an amazing community. Everything that we have accomplished over the past five years would not have been possible without the selfless volunteers of this village. I look forward to another productive year ahead.

The Village is continuing to work with Congressman Tom Suozzi, the NYSDEC and the USACOE to find a solution to the issues at the seawall.  The constant overtopping, rusting of the steel sheathing resulting in the failure of  one cap so far and a recently developed sink hole are all being evaluated.  At this time there is nothing substantive to report but we are all working together for a long term solution.

On tonight’s agenda we have several resolutions that I would like to briefly discuss.  Deputy Mayor Pierce has been working on improving the existing check valve behind our Village Hall.  We have a resolution to hire a vendor to install an in-line check valve that will prevent the back flow of saltwater water into our roadway. Deputy Mayor Pierce will discuss in more detail. We are also renewing our copy machine lease; the copier is slightly faster and the monthly lease payments will be 50% less. Trustee Burke’s has completed the ground work on the Kayak rack.  We have two resolutions on the agenda; one for the cost to install, signage and permits and the second resolution to establish the license agreement and user fee. Trustee Burke will discuss in more detail.

Trustees:

Deputy Mayor Pierce congratulated the organizers, police department and police commissioner on the fireworks event.  She reported that she attended three shared service meetings in Yaphank; this is a state initiative that is run by each county in the state. It is to help streamline local governments by pooling purchases, consolidating services and provide information and technology services; the object is to lower expenses so property taxes can be kept as low as possible.  The state will match dollar for dollar any savings incurred by local governments starting in 2018.  There will be four public meetings, and the Town of Huntington will be hosting one on July 18th at Town Hall.  A preliminary plan will be presented to the county legislatures by August 1st and the plan will be adopted by October 15th.  She noted that she worked on the check valve project to prevent flooding on Asharoken Avenue. She thanked Village Clerk, Nancy Rittenhouse for all the work performed on organizing vendors and getting quotes. She noted that she reviewed the minutes, vouchers, kayak information and copier quotes.

 

Trustee Ettinger congratulated Deputy Mayor Pierce and Trustee Jablonski and wished them continued success.  He noted that it is a pleasure working with them and Mayor Letica, as a team we have accomplished a great deal. We have faced significant issues and a number of storms but despite all of the difficulties we were able to make some very significant accomplishments working under the leadership of Mayor Letica.  During the past month he noted that he spent time with the police department and Officer-in-Charge Mahdesian in planning for the 4th of July fireworks event.  There are many details that goes in to planning the event and this year’s July 4th fireworks was the best ever.  He singled out Officer-in-Charge Ray Mahdesian and the police department for all the work they put in during the day. During the month he met with Doug Adil for the annual safety inspection of Village Hall.  On June 28th he met with several police officers and attended the buddy club, no cost to the Village.  During the month he attended the court session, reviewed FOIL’s, correspondence, minutes and monthly vouchers.

 

Trustee Burke reported that three bids were obtained for the installation of the kayak rack.  She recommended going with Oakleaf Construction.  She noted that there is no impact on our insurance; control issues have been addressed by a recommended sign by our insurance carrier and license agreement drafted by our village attorney. The season will be from Memorial Day to the end of October.  Kayak permits will be distributed on a first come first serve basis and the fee will be $25.00 per season.  An email will be sent out once the sign and stickers are ready. She noted that she reviewed the vouchers, correspondence and minutes.

 

Trustee Jablonski reported that he reviewed last month’s minutes, payment vouchers, kayak, copier and check valve information and correspondence.

 

Village Attorney:  Bruce Migatz reported that the Zoning Board met on June 27th, they heard one application by Dominic Marino for special use permits for two accessory dwellings, and those permits were granted.  The ERB was unable to get a quorum for the June meeting; they are trying to get one for July 24th, Bruce asked Village Clerk if we had a quorum, she indicated no quorum as of yet.  The Planning Board approved the Duck Island Subdivision, an article 78 proceeding which is a means of challenging in court the Planning Board’s decision was commenced by the adjacent neighbors Stanley and Eva Browne. That was filed in June.  The original return date is July 26th, but that will most likely be postponed while the parties gather the necessary documents and brief the issues for the court.

 

Village Treasurer: Emily Hayes Treasurer reported that on the revenue side we have received the majority of the real estate taxes, there are 608 parcels taxed in the Village of Asharoken, of that only 19 parcels are unpaid, totaling approximately $30,000.  Last year at the same time, the number of delinquent properties was 21 with a total of about $41,000 outstanding. Delinquent notices were already mailed out. The vouchers in the month of June were $62,675.28.  Included in the vouchers for June, is the fee for the barge for the 4th of July of $8500 and computer equipment for the police cars of $17,053.40. The computer expense was covered by a grant from Suffolk County DA’s Office.  There will be a separate resolution to approve the vouchers and budget transfers.

 

Officer-In-Charge:   Officer-In-Charge Ray Mahdesian reported on the 4th of July event.  The Northport Highway department set up the barriers; the sheriff’s department assisted the village; we had a full staff present, we also had three auto accidents during the day.  He indicated that we hire a tow truck to stay in the village in case of an accident that may close the road; the tow truck is available to keep the road open.  The harbormaster Joe Affrunti is behind the scenes, the Town of Huntington Harbormaster provides patrol boats on both sides of the village.  The Public Safety department assists the village, Suffolk County police department assists the village to help keep the traffic moving.  The Suffolk County marine bureau and the Coast Guard help with the perimeter. We have the officers walk the beach to review the bonfires for safety concerns. We had 47 summons and 3 arrests for the month of June.

 

Sanitation Operator: Barry Bradley reported that Big Blue is running well. The total trash tons was 28.97 single stream 8.75 tons for total tonnage for the month being 39.68 tons.

 

Superintendent of Buildings: Doug Adil reported that he reviewed a variety of plans this month.  Reviewed construction plans for new piers and patio in the front yard of a home in Asharoken Avenue. Conducted a Fire Safety inspection of Village Hall, along with the Police Commissioner and Alarm monitoring company.  All components are now functioning properly with some minor corrections.  Re-reviewed plans for roof additions to a home on Asharoken Ave, provided design guidelines for homeowner in adding a drywell for a new patio, reviewed drawings for the proposed road construction by Duck Island Corp, reviewed plans for a new garage, attended 2017 Building Code Conference at Stony Brook University.  He performed approximately 10 inspections this month.

 

Conservation Board Chairman:  Marty Cohen noted that he had nothing to report this month.

 

Harbormaster:  Joe Affrunti noted that everything went well this Fourth of July.  Ray Mahdesian did a great job.

 

Public Hearing: To review Verizon New York, Inc’s performance under their existing cable television franchise and identify the cable-related needs and interests of the Village.

Village Clerk read the public notice.

 

Mayor Letica reported the following; “Verizon New York, Inc. submitted to the Village of Asharoken, the franchising authority a renewal notice requesting commencement of formal renewal proceedings under Section 626 of the television Franchises that must be completed prior to the franchise expiration, which in our case is June 18, 2019 with Verizon New York Inc. Upon receipt of the renewal notice, the franchising authority (Village of Asharoken), is required to ascertain the community’s cable-related needs and interests. This public hearing affords the public in the franchise area appropriate notice and participation for the purpose of identifying future cable-related community needs and interests and reviewing the performance of the cable operator (Verizon New York Inc.) during the current franchise term.
